  • Hydrocarbon transport system
    Patent number: 5582252
    Abstract: A system for transporting hydrocarbon fluid produced from an offshore well using an offshore production platform and a hydrocarbon fluid storage space in fluid communication with the offshore well via a conduit is provided. The system comprises at least one hydrocarbon fluid export system including a shuttle tanker provided with positioning apparatus capable of limiting movement of the tanker away from a location at a selected distance from the production platform, a flowline for transferring the hydrocarbon fluid to the tanker, at least pan of the flowline being a continuous flexible flowline at one end provided with a connector for releasably connecting the flowline to the tanker so as to allow fluid transfer from the flowline to the tanker, and with a valve for opening or closing the flowline, the flexible flowline extending along the seabed and from the seabed in the form of a riser to the tanker when the flowline is connected to the tanker.
